Repeater Moved!
21 June
A work party convened around 0900 on the site to remove all of our equipment from the old building, move to the new building, assemble and install all new cable assemblies, install isolators and combiner, and get the thing back up.
The last members of this work party departed the site after midnight on Sunday morning in a blasting snow storm once the main repeater was up to satisfaction. Some equipment was taken off of the mountain to modify for compliance with BLM rules.
25 June
Another trip was made on the 25th to install the, now compliant, link radios, label all of the cabling, and re-tune components and filters which were knocked out of alignment during the ride down the hill. We are utilizing a hybrid combiner now to share one antenna between our links which required some adjustments to pass filters for best performance. At the conclusion of this trip we are confident that the repeater is performing optimally at this time. Once we source a VHF isolator, we can bring the APRS packet system online under the clubs management.
Bill/Tracy have made arrangements with "The Sign Man" to make custom badges with the club logo.
